Monopole Planets and Galaxies
N. S. Manton
Spherical clusters of SU(2) BPS monopoles are investigated here. A large class of monopole solutions is found using an abelian approximation, where the clusters are spherically sym…

Geometric Models of Matter
Michael Atiyah, Nicholas S. Manton, Bernd J. Schroers
Inspired by soliton models, we propose a description of static particles in terms of Riemannian 4-manifolds with self-dual Weyl tensor. For electrically charged particles, the 4-ma…

Classical Skyrmions -- Static Solutions and Dynamics
N. S. Manton
Skyrmions with a realistic value of the pion mass parameter are expected to be quite compact structures, but beyond baryon number B=8 only a few examples are known. The largest of…
